3 monitors one card?

[nico-katzj]

Hi Folks!
I am buying an asus striker 760 4gb.
Is it possible to run triple monitors off it? I don't expect to play any games on ultra on it, but the card has 2 dvi, one mini hdmi and a viewport, is it possible to run triple monitors on it? And if so what cables would I need, 2 dvi but would I then use the hdmi or viewport?
In the future I am saving to run another striker in ski.
Thanks folks.
Jake

It depends what inputs your monitors accept. What monitors do you want to use?

You can run up to 4 and you can use any port.

Btw there is no port with the name, viewport, it's displayport.

Yes, you should run 3 monitors.
You probably will need a mini hdmi to hdmi cable, or whatever your third monitor can use.

Yes, you can run a triple screen setup off that card. It has 2xDVI, 1xHDMI and 1xDisplayPort. According to nVidia, you can use ANY of the four ports to get the triple screen setup.

If none of your screens has an HDMI or a DisplayPort connector, you will need a DVI->HDMI / DVI->DisplayPort connector.
Make sure you know whether your card has a MiniDisplay Port or a DisplayPort. It should have a Full-Size DisplayPort, according to ASUS.

According to nVidia, it seem syou could use something like this:

If I were you, I'd get the one from the first link, because that's an ACTIVE adapter so it's guaranteed to work.

Thanks guys, my computer only accepts VGA and DVI so I will get a DisplayPort to dvi cable.
Thanks
